Cheapskate Rocket motors

Never heard of them. Where do you get info on them? If they ship product, they have AT beat. (AT shipping motors means that they are shipping the ones I want. So fas they've shipped everything except)

Phil Ste>has anyone tried these? If so, how were they? They do appear to be much

Phil Stein

Are they part of Trailer Trash Rocketry?

;)

Never even heard of them. Who makes them, and what kind of motors are they? Are they certified?

Woody Stanford at:

Very interesting! I think I'll order a few and try 'em out.

Other than that, they should be interesting to try.

Hey guys, I'm not going to say, "Don't order from Woody", just beware and get ready for a wait because it could take quite awhile to get your stuff. It took 5 months to fill my order about 98% and almost a year to see everything.

If you want details, email me off list.

Of course not, Fred. They're "Toy Perpellants", just like Jerry motors and sold/shipped just as legally.

In a plan brown wrapper.

This is a 49 state world generally.

Candy (the stuff you eat) would qualify as a pyrotechnic under that law just as this "propellant" (if you can really call this stuff propellant).

So if you go after candy "motors" you might miss and kill a HUGE industry as candy contyains an oxidizer and a fuel.

Try lighting some sometime.

Yes, but if you eat too many of them you will suffer from BOTH:

• terrible diarrhea
• loss of interest in females

Help educate me.

Exactly what oxidizer is contained in the following (or any) candy (and do they sustain their own combustion without atmospheric oxygen):

M & Ms

Milky Way

Rock Candy

Skittles

Gummi Bears/Worms/DiMilo, etc.

Necco Wafers

AFAIK there is no KNO3 in regular candy intended for human consumption.

AND if this is edible, there are probably LOTS of federal and state regulations to deal with. After all, CA has checkpoints for food entering the state ('the fruit police').

Caramel.

ONLY if intended for ingestion. I believe these motors are not.

But only for fruits and vegetables. Hence why you are safe every time.

Jerry

so let me get this straight.....the PRK has "fruit and vegatable" police that check out any fruit or veggies entering the state..... BUT... they have no police checking out the millions of illegal aliens crossing into the PRK on a yearly basis?

I'm not sure I can take much more of this lunacy...... shockie B(

Are these motors, or a "kit"?

Incorrect.

The federal government owns the INS and Border Patrol. The illegal aliens come across the border in desolate areas of the desert as well as smuggled in vehicles on roads.

Very little fruit is smuggled into CA by trekking across the barren desert border areas.

Lots of fruit comes down the highway. It can be infested with all sorts of nasty bugs that will decimate the MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR agricultural industry of CA.

Do a web search for exact details. These are only general factoids.

Correct.

How amusing is that?

PRK for a reason.

Jerry

Oh silly. It's way easier to hassle law obiding citizens on the major highways than it is to catch people crossing our border out in the boonies.
